Written by two leading Christie's specialists for the enthusiast and the collector, this sumptuous book examines the most innovative period in jewellery design, when boundless creativity met technological advance and increasing commercialism to elevate jewellery from mere decoration to a decorative art form that has proved enduringly popular. Illustrated with glorious photographs from Christie's archives, this is an authoritative yet accessible title. While an essential volume for the avid collector and passionate enthusiast, it is also a perfect introduction to the period by the husband and wife team of David Lancaster and Sally Everitt. Lancaster is a director of Christie's South Kensington, where he is head of the jewellery department.
